Wo Aag Ho Raha Hai Khuda Jaane Ghair Ne — Mir Taqi Mir
वो आग हो रहा है ख़ुदा जाने ग़ैर ने
मेरी तरफ़ से उस के तईं क्या लगा दिया
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Whether it is fire, only God knows what the stranger has done, what they have placed from my side.
Explanation
This profound couplet captures the agonizing state of being misunderstood. The speaker feels that the 'other person' has created a consuming fire, a pain that seems inexplicable. Yet, the second line introduces a deep self-doubt: Did I, myself, somehow contribute to this misery? It is a struggle between external torment and the internal questioning of one's own worth, a hallmark of classical Urdu poetry.
